Justice
in the Querent position.
Represents the querent and the question, as well as the primary influences surrounding him or her. A court card here might refer to the querent or some dominant person.
Justice councils you to not only be honest with yourself, but also with others. In Wiccan lore, whatever you do comes back to you threefold. This counts for helpful deeds as well as hurtful ones, and even ill-wishing. In Christianity this idea is suggested by the Golden Rule, and in Buddhism it is called the Law of Karma. She may be reminding you to be fair in your dealings with others, promising that your kindness will come back to you in turn.

Sage of Cups
in the Subconscious Mind position.
Along with the next card, represents the subconscious mind of the querent. Gives information on the hidden influences which effect, but are not detected by the querent.
This Sage is an uncommonly sympathetic person, and can be a skillful healer and counselor. Yet he seems unable to turn an open and loving heart toward himself. This unwillingness to be vulnerable keeps him from fully giving himself to a relationship. The Sage of Cups may enter your life as a sensitive yet moody person. His appearance also invites you to open up to aspects of yourself calling for expression

Nine of Swords
in the Subconscious Mind position.
Along with the previous card, represents the subconscious mind of the querent. Gives information on the hidden influences which effect, but are not detected by the querent.
In the Nine of Swords we confront our deepest fears. Worry winds tendrils around your heart, tighter and tighter, until you can hardly breathe. Terrifying visions make your mind your worst enemy. The anxiety can keep you up at night and even make you feel like you’re going crazy. Your concerns may be for yourself or they may be for a loved one. Either way, most of the dangers exist only within your mind. Beneath all the apprehension, however, something may truly be wrong. The challenge is to make out the quiet voice of your intuition from the loud voices of your fears. Before your anxieties get the best of you, look to other cards for guidance on the best way to deal with this situation.

Along with the next card, represents the conscious mind of the querent. Gives information on the thoughts and feelings of the querent toward the nature of the question (which may or may not be in harmony with cards 2 & 3).
Listen closely to your intuition. Don’t over-intellectualize the situation; stay connected to your feelings. Confidence, mental agility, peace, and composure are the gifts of this card, but be wary of procrastination. Are you facing a decision or running away from it? You cannot stay suspended between choices forever and will soon need to take action. Otherwise this time of introspection may only amount to self-delusion.

With night vision, we see what the daylight only obscures: the hidden forces behind waking reality. Look at your fears to see what lies behind them. Accept the power and strangeness of your own imagination, and follow the deep currents of your mind toward the distant horizon.

Eight of Swords
in the Past position.
Along with the last card, this card sheds light on the querent's past. Indicates past events or influences which relate to the current question or problem.
The Eight of Swords speaks to a time of paralyzing indecision. You may feel so caught between choices that you are unable to move forward or back. Although external forces may be blocking your way, the inability to act is primarily rooted in your mind. Fear is your captor; self-criticism and self-doubt are the ties that bind you. And there may be other emotional undercurrents at work that you haven’t been willing to confront. Despite feeling overwhelmed, it’s time to shrug off your victim status and invest yourself in the outcome of your situation. Watch out for the voice that says, “I just can’t do it, I give up.” Trust yourself and start putting one foot before the other on the path to freedom. Once you cast off your inner bonds, movement may be easier than you think.
